STUDENT STRANDED IN JUNGLE BATTLES HIS WAY TO SAFETY
By Kate WatsonSmyth
Maroon = to be left alone in a place you cannot leave, with no means of getting away.
A British student who went missing in South America after falling into a river and being swept
over a waterfall has been found safe and well. He was saved by the air in his backpack, which
kept him afloat, but was then marooned alone in the jungle for nearly two weeks.
Luke, aged 19, had gone trekking alone in the Bolivian jungle for the last two weeks of an eight
week trip to South America. The alarm was raised when he failed to arrive for a rendezvous with
friends.
Michael Dance, his father, who flew to Bolivia at the weekend to search for his son, said Luke
had built himself a camp and was hoping to signal to passers by, but after two weeks when his
food was running out he realised he would have to try and make his own way out — over
another waterfall.
Luke, who is about to start the second year of a managementscience course at Loughborough
University, was part of a 12strong Officer Training Corps [ko:] expedition to South America.
The group had planned to retrace the routes of Inca trails and map them for the Peruvian
government, but their sponsorship fell through at the last minute. They decided, however, to
make the trip anyway.
A month ago, Luke, who had kept in regular touch with his divorced parents in West Sussex,
England, sent his father an email to say he was planning to travel alone for three weeks before
meeting up with his friends in the Peruvian capital, Lima, to catch a flight home on 15
September.
That was the last they heard from him. On the fourth day of his solo trek, Luke got into trouble.
His father said yesterday: "It was wet. He ended up on the wrong path and lost his footing in the
mud.
"The weight of his backpack took him over the side and he fell into the river, He could not climb
back out because it was too steep. He ended up falling over a 15ft waterfall."
When Luke eventually realised that no help was coming, and he was down to the last of his
rations, he had to take the only route out he could find. He tumbled over waterfalls and rapids for
two days before managing to get out of the river valley and make his way to the nearest village.
From there he took a bus heading for La Paz.
"He is OK in himself," said his father yesterday. "He's got some injuries to his legs and has lost
two stone. He is very weak." Earlier this week, Mr Dance, from Climping, near Littiehampton, West Sussex, said his son was
"incredibly fit" and well equipped to deal with potentially dangerous activities such as climbing
and trekking. A keen sportsman, he has done a parachute jump, and a bungee jump, a 6,000
metre mountain climb as well as Whitewater rafting.
Mr Dance and his son are expected to fly home today.

In Japan, the majority of secondary school students wear V
their uniforms. As expected, some students like wearing
uniforms, while others do not have. In a recent government
report however, it was reported that uniforms are to
becoming more popular. The reason for this increase in
popularity, is that the normally boring uniforms they are
growing more fashionable. These new, improved uniforms
are used to attack students to a particular secondary school.
Some students had said they liked these modern uniforms
very much because they were comfortable. In addition,
they however said they didn't have to spend a lot of time
each morning for deciding what to wear. On the other hand, some students complained about that the new
uniforms were far too expensive and that any kind of
uniform can limits one's individuality. In the end, it seems
quite more unfortunate that the appearance of a uniform
could influence a student to must choose one secondary school over another.
